Charleston Truck Accident Lawyer

Tough Representation for Tough Accident Cases in South Carolina

Trucks pose an inevitable hazard on public roads due to their large size
and weight. A semi-truck or big rig can easily weigh 80,000 pounds, translating
to 30 times the size of average vehicles. While trucks are involved in
fewer accidents per 100 million road miles than conventional vehicles,
the accidents they do cause are more likely to be fatal accidents.

What Causes Most Truck Accidents?

Crashes with large trucks are often caused by factors such as:

Dangerous driving for road / weather conditions

Veering off the edge of the road

Drifting lanes

Tire blowouts

Moving cargo / cargo coming loose and falling off

Driver exhaustion / falling asleep behind the wheel

How Often Do Truck Accidents Occur?

Statistics from the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) reveal that:

Trucks move 11 billion tons of freight every year

Trucks haul over $8.3 trillion in goods

Approximately 500,000 truck accidents happen every year

In 2010, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, over
3,400 people were killed in accidents with large trucks, and 72% of those
victims were the occupants of vehicles other than the trucks involved
in the crash. This means that truck accidents disproportionately endanger
other drivers.
